I'm an ex-military radio communications officer who spent over 20 years in electronic warfare/radio warfare and SIGINT, and I'm incredulous that the world's only super power is being led by the telecom industry down what I'm certain is a path of self-destruction.
I'm referring specifically to your country's energy policy whereby your whole nation is installing so-called wireless 'smart meters' to operate and manage your national electric power grid. Unfortunately, Canada is following in your footsteps.
No country could possibly make it easier for a determined terrorist organization or rogue state to bring the country to its knees - by cyber attack (e.g., Stuxnet) or radio warfare (e.g., HAARP-type weapons, electromagnetic pulses (EMP)s, jamming, etc.
Wake up! Talk to your own NSA people; they'll tell you the suicidal path the USA is on (Canada too).
by Dr. Ilya Sandra Perlingieri - Global Research, July 13, 2012
Over the past two years, there has been mounting medical and scientific evidence of the grave biological dangers to humans from so-called “Smart” Meters exposure that are being installed by the hundreds of thousands all over North America and Europe. Scientists have been documenting the EMF/RF exposure effects for decades. However, it is only in the last two years, with the constant wireless electromagnetic radiation exposure to these new meters, that other medical evidence (down to the cellular level) has been reported. In the US, there has never been a mandate to force these utility meters on millions of unsuspecting people. There has been no Precautionary Principle used, while corporate greed has abounded. Various utility companies have not told their customers of the dangers. What they told their customers about these new meters was that it would update the grid and help them control individual usage. Customers have not been told about the serious health problems that these RF pulsing meters cause. We have been given no informed consent to this dangerous but invisible exposure.
With broken and unethical global social mores, this is considered standard business practice: to deceive customers, while gaining enormous profits. As long as a “revolving-door” policy remains between corporations and [no longer] public agencies, citizens will not have their medically validated concerns ever addressed. The corporate bottom line, profit, is what counts –not our well-being and safety. Further, the synergistic effects of various wireless technologies combined with other environmental toxins to which we all are exposed daily have not been tested.
Over the past year, I have already personally seen the damage these dangerous meters have done to numerous people and several animals I know --all across the US. Although not generally reported by mainstream media, the serious impacts on peoples’ health are already evident. A short list includes: neurological impairment, ear pain and hearing problems, breathing dysfunctions, chest pains and heart ailments, burning skin, sleep disturbances, headaches, depression, vision troubles, blood pressure changes, sterility, autism, and neurodegenerative diseases. There are numerous reports of people who are completely incapacitated from EMF exposure. Several people I know are almost constantly debilitated and housebound, due to city-wide exposure to cell towers and Wi-Fi that has become ubiquitous. Most allopathic physicians are not trained in environmental medicine, and so often symptoms are mis-diagnosed.
On July 8, Global Research published Prof. Tracy’s important Smart Meter update, “Looming Health Crisis: Wireless Technology and the Toxification of America”:

Although Dr. David O. Carpenter notes below that the “evidence of the link between long-term cell phone use and brain cancer comes primarily from Northern Europe”, I know personally of two people who have died from glioma cancer. The glioma cancer originated behind the ear where the cell phone was held. This used to be a rare form of malignant brain cancer. It is now thought to be epidemic, but not reported by the media, as more than 6-billion cell phones are in use globally. Senator Ted Kennedy died of glioma cancer.

Est. January 2012, Stop Smart Meters! (UK) is an independent, not-for-profit voice calling for an immediate halt and reversal of the UK's Smart Meter programme - which in itself is part of a global Smart Grid agenda. Our campaign aims to raise awareness about Smart Meters so that people can become informed about Smart Meters and take necessary and appropriate action to resist them. This is a very long way indeed from what Big Energy and Big Utility are trying to do.
There are many serious problems presented by web-enabling our electricity, gas and water supplies and turning our homes into wireless, network-attached nodes on the Internet. From documented (and suppressed) health risks, unwarranted privacy violations and safety issues to the loss of sovereignty & control of our property in our own homes and much higher bills, the Smart Grid will cause far more problems than it purports to solve. In reality, Smart Meters are a money-making solution to a very different challenge - namely, how profit-seeking corporations can continue to monetise further aspects of our lives.
We encourage you to stand on your indefeasible human rights and to say a loud "NO!" to Smart Meters. Smart Meters are not mandatory - you are lawfully entitled to refuse one on whatever grounds you like. And if you would like to help other people do the same, please download and hand-out our leaflets to your neighbours and friends - this will make a huge difference in raising awareness about Smart Meters within your own community.
In February 2012, Stop Smart Meters! (UK) was invited to join the International EMF Alliance http://www.iemfa.org _________________ www.lawyerscommitteefor9-11inquiry.org www.rethink911.org www.patriotsquestion911.com www.actorsandartistsfor911truth.org www.mediafor911truth.org www.pilotsfor911truth.org www.mp911truth.org www.ae911truth.org www.rl911truth.org www.stj911.org www.v911t.org www.thisweek.org.uk www.abolishwar.org.uk www.elementary.org.uk www.radio4all.net/index.php/contributor/2149 http://utangente.free.fr/2003/media2003.pdf

They slipped that one in there just for 'good measure' didn't they. I wonder who else tendered for this contract? How much is this contract worth? What does this mean for housing associations, householders, homeowners, landlords, occupiers and tennants? What about elderly residential care homes?
Serious Stasi-like enforcement is already being used in the US. It's now happening. This is like the aliens from the film Independence Day stategically positioning all their pieces over key 'targets'.
It's still not too late. It never is. We CAN and MUST do something about this.

Energy giants are set to use digital smart meters as a way to double the cost of power when families need it most — adding nearly £60 a year to the average bill.
A Money Mail investigation has discovered Britain’s leading power firms are expected to introduce tariffs that charge more at peak times when they roll out new electronic meters which monitor how much energy you use by the second.
It means electricity and gas used in the evenings could cost 99 per cent more than at other times — penalising everyone cooking family meals, watching popular TV shows and heating their homes on chilly winter evenings.

Higher charges will also apply in the morning when people are most likely to be taking baths and showers and having the central heating on.
Money Mail has discovered that British Gas has already trialled a tariff that charges more at peak times.
And we have uncovered evidence that smart-meter schemes unveiled in other countries have proved a disaster, with complaints about soaring costs and an outcry over invasion of privacy.
Experts have raised fears about complicated payments which could be difficult to understand.
Mark Todd, marketing director at price comparison site Energyhelpline, says: ‘My fear is that government could be complicit in a scheme that enables suppliers to try to reduce demand at peak times by upping costs.
‘What are you going to do — let your children starve? How are you going to wait until 8pm to feed them when they’re meant to be in bed by that time?
‘I’ve heard government officials say this could be a way in which we could use energy more efficiently by charging more at peak times. I think that’s rather naive.’
More than 1.3 million smart meters have already been installed in British households ahead of a national rollout next year, which aims to put them in every home by 2020.
The smart-meter scheme will cost £11 billion to introduce — which homeowners will pay for through their bills.
Officials claim it will lead to £17.9 billion of benefits as people will be more aware of how much energy they use and more likely to take steps to reduce consumption.
A survey by comparison website uSwitch found that nearly three-quarters of respondents said they would be happy to have one installed, although 25 per cent admitted they didn’t even know what they did.
However, a document produced by regulator Ofgem has warned that firms will develop new retail tariffs based on costs ‘at different times of day’.
The aim, it said, was to encourage customers to reduce their use at busy times.
During British Gas’s trial with peak-time tariffs — carried out with Northern Powergrid and the University of Durham — the supplier hiked electricity prices by 99 per cent at the peak time of between 4pm and 8pm, when a quarter of daily use takes place as people get home from work, turn on the TV and sit down for dinner.
Fees were cut at other times of the day, but analysis for Money Mail suggests that families would still be left out of pocket.
The average British household uses 3,100 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per year, according to energy regulator Ofgem.
Unpopular: Smart-meter schemes unveiled in other countries have proved a disaster, with complaints about soaring costs and an outcry over invasion of privacy
British Gas’s standard tariff is 15.35p per kWh, meaning an average bill is £475.85. The test project trialled a time-of-day tariff with new charges depending on when energy was used, based on data collected by smart meters.
It charged 99 per cent more than the standard rate at peak times, 4 per cent less during the rest of the day and 31 per cent less at night. If that scheme was rolled out nationwide today, the average customer would save £59.17 per year at off-peak hours.
But peak-time use would cost £117.77 more — meaning anyone using a time-of-day tariff instead of a standard one would be £58.60 worse off.
British Gas said the study was not carried out with the intention of a wider launch, but to look at the impact it had on consumer behaviour.
It said it had also run a separate trial offering 4,000 people free electricity on Saturdays or Sundays between 9am and 5pm.
Money Mail first revealed this scheme in March 2014. British Gas says this pilot scheme was more indicative of the approach it would take after smart meters are introduced — encouraging families to use more power at weekends.
It also claimed our analysis was unrepresentative and used incorrect price and consumption data.
Smart meters have already been rolled out elsewhere in the world.
In Canada, Ontario’s Office Of The Auditor General last year found that many anticipated benefits of a smart-meter scheme launched in 2004 had not been achieved and it had been ‘much more costly than projected’ to run.
The devices were also rolled out in the Australian state of Victoria from 2006, with the aim of saving £36.7 million.
But the move was condemned by privacy campaigners, who warned that big energy companies would know every detail of their home lives, while costs spiralled out of control.
Feel the chill: The £11billion roll-out of gas and electricity smart meters by 2020 is designed to cut energy bills for 30million households and small businesses – and encourage regular switching
The price of the scheme rocketed to 88 per cent above budget last year and, in a damning report, Victoria’s auditor-general John Doyle found that consumers were paying more, promised benefits were yet to appear and ‘most of the cost savings achieved by distributors from smart meters are yet to flow through to retailers and on to customers’.
Even British Gas acknowledged in a statement to a government committee that the Australian project had ‘prefaced significant price increases for energy’.
The influential Institute Of Directors business group has warned that costs for the scheme could balloon, saying that it was the largest government IT project in history and the risks were ‘staggering’.
The Department Of Energy & Climate Change stressed that there were no plans to force families to switch from a standard tariff to a time-of-day one.
A spokesman said: ‘Smart meters will put hard-working families and businesses in control by bringing an end to estimated bills and charging people only for the energy they actually use.’
Claire Maugham, director of policy and communications at Smart Energy GB, an independent national campaign for the meters, said: ‘The experiences of many other countries around the world shows us that public engagement and understanding is vital if consumers are to benefit fully from smart meters.
‘Britain’s rollout was designed with consumers at its heart; our new meters will show us what we’re spending, in pounds and pence and in near real-time, engaging consumers in the energy market where they have been disengaged in the past.
